OK - take this example ... I had written a COM object to be called from a VB client. All was working OK- so I thought anyway. Installed in a production environment, and then the developer of the VB client told me that his VB app would "do its job" correctly, but not exit, i.e. the .exe would hang around after all processing was complete. We tracked it down to being a problem with my COM object, i.e. if the COM object was not called from the VB client then the VB .exe would exit as expected.
So how do you go about finding this??
Eventually I tracked it down to a(nother) 3rd party COM object that I was calling from my COM object - but by commenting out code until I found the problem ....
cheers, Craig

Depends on what the bug is.
Different types have differing solutions.
But I would never comment out blocks of code to try and find a bug. That
is waaaay too slow.
